About Khamis

Khamis grew up around the dhow yards in Pemba and dived recreationally for years before going through PADI instructor training. He specializes in the deeper wall sites in the Pemba Channel that require real current experience, and runs seasonal trips down to Mafia Island for whale shark season rather than promising sightings he can't guarantee.

Best diving I have done in East Africa. Khamis reads the current like it is nothing.

Honest about the odds before we went out — we got lucky and saw three. He didn't oversell it beforehand.
